UPDATE: I tried to run this plane on my phone and it like to go tail down in the water and sink. This doesn't happen to me on the PC version. If anyone had this problem I'm going to try and fix it in the morning and I'll upload an updated file.
From Wikipedia:
The Savoia-Marchetti S.55 was a double-hulled flying boat produced in Italy beginning in 1924. Shortly after its introduction it began setting records for speed, payload, altitude and range.
(Before take-off: Move to water location and give her time to settle in the water. Action group one, VTOL slider up to third tab. Deactivate action group 1. VTOL slider to first tab. Throttle up, and take off)
Feel free to fiddle with the VTOL slider to find the perfect setting. She has a tendency to nose down if you don't have it just right.
Oh, and if anything falls off, just restart and it should right itself.
HAPPY FLYING!
PS (Almost Forgot: Thanks again to @WalrusAircraft for the props. They were perfect for this model!
